  I respond to this? I thought I did. This is what I don’t understand about history they say now we are more accepting as such which in my opinion there was more accepting back when it wasn’t just paraded everywhere… well except Rome but people didn’t talk about it back then… like I think it’s gross how accepting it was to have not concubines and it was popular to have so and most of the time those boys were mistreated

The level of acceptance really depends on a lot of things really.  In ways, we are less accepting depending on the civilization we're talking about.  A lot of native people had more than 2 genders before colonization happened.  I know of at least one same-sex couple that didn't just exist in Ancient Egypt, but they had a burial celebrating their love for each other.  However, in Ancient Rome same-sex attraction was somewhat common, but it was still not allowed on the level it is now.  There were so many rules about what was proper and improper.  I am reading a lot about queer history lately and it's all really fascinating.  Before WWII Germany was a very welcoming place for queer and trans people.  Then Nazis took power and the first thing they did was burn all the books related to queer studies.  It was a huge setback.

To a degree we've moved past that and people are coming out sooner than they would have when I was growing up.  So, things are better to a degree?  I do know that poverty and homelessness disproportionately affect people of the LGBTQ+ community.  It's a really complicated topic.

Yeah, I spend a lot of time learning about queer history.  You know considering I myself am queer.  I feel it's important to know our history.

We were down to a few slices of cheese.

[Lost Melfanian]

Deacon Moore

Yeah~ And ye probably didn't want those anyway.
*tosses the slices in a hole in the air, sets down a bag and starts putting cans on a shelf*
Got some drinks in there, if ye feel like rummaging.

"Good evening..." She trailed off having not been here in quite a long time.

She walked in taking off her massive over coat tucking her classes into the pocket and taking her hair down.

"Don't mind me to much I just need a little time to unwind." She said pinching her brow unfurling her wings with a snap crackle and a pop. "Oh that's just so much better."

Oh, of course. S'what the Void tries to be good for: releasing tension. Whether via
relaxation, contemplation, or screaming out into it. Heh.
Had a long day?

"Oh well you know how things go. Out of the fire into Dante's Inferno" She said settling her self down flexing her wings over the back of the chair. "I think the screaming into the void option works best for me I'm in a bit of a cross roads that has been laid out for me and I know my fear of success can be crippling for me. Not because I cant do it it's one of these I don't deserve it. I think there's something beaten into the generation of have nots." She said tilting her head to her behind the counter stowing away canned goods.
